As soon the fight ends, Arin drops the axe and runs over to James. Though James was fading fast, as Arin arrived at his side. So Arin took James hand, spending what remaining time he could with him. James began to speak, "Dear boy don't mourn me! I've lived a long and healthy life, that I can be proud of." As he said this James coughs up blood, gaining a hoarse voice.Then James continues on saying,"I have a letter for you in my dresser, it will explain so much that I can't. So now I leave you with these few words. Live long, eat well and find someone worthwhile." For the last few minutes of his life, James sat with Arin telling him the story of how he met the love of his life. Just before the end James fell limp, passing away before he could finish. Arin began to cry as the last person he saw as family has now left him for the eternal slumber never to wake again. A week passes by, and is now the day of the funeral for James Burke. The body of the well respected man, lay so still as if he could spring up at any moment for a jump scare. During the memorial Arin sits by himself in the family section of the deceased. He looks so lost and devastated, as if his direction has ceased to be. Though he was obviously distraught, he managed to hold himself together till after his grandfather was lowered into his grave. Upon resting the coffin at the bottom Arin screams," rest now old man you deserve it". Doing as he falls down crying uncontrollably, finding it hard to stop the tears and regain his composure. Carla walks upto him, and wrapped him in a hug in an attempt to console him. Her caring warmth helped him calm down enough, so he could get up and move. So Arin decides to go home, in a directionless state. The young man soon arrives home to a dull interior cottage, a cottage that once seemed so vibrant.
Weeks pass by, with Arin trying to continue his work. However, each day he falls deeper into depression. Then one day Kira Evans, was leaving to be an adventurer. She was Carla's eldest child and just three years young than Arin. This peaked his interest, but didn't immediately push him towards doing anything.
